On this week’s program, there is a Haaretz national security analyst Amos Harel join the podcast to discuss the dramatic events in Israel and Gaza. Why Israel hit the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad organization, and why Hamas, the most powerful group in Gaza, waiting out of this fight round? Amos explains the behind-the-scenes dynamics between Israel and the various Palestinian organizations, and warns Israel’s legal leadership of unintended consequences such as the death toll rise in Gaza.
Later on the show, hosted Allison Kaplan Sommer and Amir Tibon talk about the political implications of the fight, which is taking place in the midst of Israel’s election campaign. How did the Israelis view Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s handling of this crisis, and where did he get his symbolic victory over opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu? In addition, Allison asks Amir what his neighbors in a kibbutz right near the Gaza border think about this round of fighting.
